PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
• Spring: Sow seeds or plant young plants in spring when growing conditions are suitable for steady growth. This allows plants to establish before fruiting begins. • Early Summer: Move plants to their final growing position once temperatures are consistently warm and stable, helping Tomato ‘Peardrops’ grow strongly.
Site Selection
• Sunlight: Choose a bright, sunny location, as plenty of sunlight is essential for strong growth and heavy crops. • Soil: Fertile, well-drained, moisture-retentive compost or soil is ideal, especially for containers and hanging baskets where Tomato ‘Peardrops’ performs very well.
Planting Instructions
Fill containers or baskets with good quality compost.
Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball.
Place the plant into the hole and firm gently.
Water thoroughly after planting to help the plant establish.
Position containers where trailing stems have space to grow and spill over naturally.
Watering Requirements
• Growing Season: Water regularly to keep compost evenly moist, especially in containers and baskets. • Warm Periods: Plants in baskets may require frequent watering to keep Tomato ‘Peardrops’ healthy and productive.
Feeding
• Early Growth: Apply a balanced liquid feed once plants are established. • Flowering and Fruiting: Switch to a high-potash feed to encourage flowering and fruit production.
Pruning and Maintenance
• Trailing Habit: This variety naturally trails, so staking is not usually required. • Maintenance: Remove any damaged or yellowing leaves to keep Tomato ‘Peardrops’ tidy and healthy.
Mulching
• For container growing, ensure compost remains covered and moist. In beds, a light mulch will help retain moisture and improve soil conditions.
